ing that looked like FIRE. He went
back to bed and was losing himself
in sleep when his wife wakened him
for the second time by kicking him in
the ribs. How can you lie there
and sleep, you brute, at such a time
as this? Do you want to see your wife
aud children burned alive2 Once
more the unfortunate Thespian
crawled from his warm bed and down
the cold Railways. As before, he
failed to find anything resembling a
fire. Returning to his couch he tried
to quiet his wife's fears. But she
was still disturbed by the same odor
Of smoke. ITS strange" she said,
II couldn't smell it when you were
down stairs, but now smell it
stronger than ever. Suddenly it
dawned upon him that the smoky
flavor Of his breath was the cause of
his wife's fears, so he went down
stairs, slammed the front door and
then came back and told his wife
that he had made arrangements with
the policeman to keep good lookout
for fire in the house, and then he
sought repose on the sofa, with the
explanation that he would be more
easily aroused in case the policeman
discovered anything. The next day
he took the pledge.

The hnrch Kell Oneslinn.

New York World: Henry Guy
Carlton lifts up his voice against
church bells. He considers them
relics of barbarism, surviving horrors
of the days before Seth Thomas made
clocks, and when nobody had
watches. lie says that he has it on
the authority OF famous physician
that many nervous, sick people are
slain annually by the Changing and
whanging of the bells Formerly,when
people had no timepieces, and when
everybody went to bed at sunset,
bells were of indispensable use in the
marshaling of society. Now, when
the cities are full OF clocks, church
bell is as unnecessary an evil as
as curfew would be. Thousands
of people Obliged to work at night
are distracted by the morning fury
OF noise, and those who go to church
in the morning and iain would take
a nap in the afternoon are maddened
by the tumult of the Sunday after
noon bells. "0f course" says Carl
ton, IF you tell votary Of the bell
that its purpose is obsolete, and that
no reason for its weekly rumpus ex-
lists, he will say: oh, but there's
the sentiment Think OF the trad-
tionl Our forefathers used bells.
SO they did. Our ioreiathers used
the fagot and stake, too. Our fore
fathers-a long time ago, true, but
centuries after bells were invented
used to put every man to death
who advanced an idea or conceived
an original thought Let the votary
live almost under steeple and take
up business which will keep him
up until daybreak, and then when
the traditional bells are getting in
their finest work, say about 8 o'clock
am, | would like to hear his views
upon the sentiment involved" The
fire bells have been suppressed in
civilized communities because it was
discovered by thoughtful legislators
that there was no crying need Of
frightening an entire city because
the chimney Of Mr.. O'Hoolihan's
mansion happened to be burning.
Private signals telegraphed to the
engines answered just as well. Why
does Mr.. Batebones SOckdologer
deem it necessary to wake up hun
bred weary citizens, who have the mis-
fortune to live in the neighborhood of
his church, merely because a moth
eaten and ancient custom sanctions
his breach Of the peace? The law
which protects liberty of worship
should protect the rights of nervous
invalids and hard worked persons
who have to sleep during the day or
not sleep at all, from a brazen and
excruciating uproar upon, a day
legally sanctioned and guarded as a
daY of rest.

On the l4th inst. John Alexander, a
soldier brought from Camp Pilot Buttes
to Fort d. A. Russell for medical treat
ment, died suddenly. Two days later he
was buried in the military cemetery, the
command at the post and the grand lodge
|. o o. F., which was then in session in
this city, supervising the interment.
Last evening w. r. Alexander, Goad-
land, Ind, arrived for the purpose of re-
moving the corpse of his deceased brother
to his Eastern home. To a LEADER re.
porter he stated that the family was
wealthy, and that the action of the brother
who joined the army could not be under
stood. John Alexander had not been
heard from for nearly five years, and it
was but by the merest accident that they
were informed Of his demise.
The acduaintances of the dead man
unite in declaring that he was an excellent
soldier aud a man of the type so rare in
these days.
